(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Fans who want to bid farewell to Whitney Houston will be able to watch her private funeral online.
The singer's publicist, Kristen Foster, announced that The Associated Press will be the pool camera for the Saturday ceremony in Newark, N.J., and the AP will stream the service on livestream.com/aplive. It also will be available to broadcasters via satellite.
Houston died in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday at the age of 48. Her body was flown back to her native New Jersey on Monday.
Some fans were disappointed when they learned that the funeral was private and no public memorial was planned.
Houston was born in Newark. The service will be at New Hope Baptist Church, where she sang as a child. Gospel singer Marvin Winans will reportedly give the eulogy at the request of Houston's mother, gospel singer Cissy Houston.
You can say goodbye without watching the funeral on the internet. I like how they are investigating her medical records. Why? We all know what the cause of death was. Im sorry, she had a beautiful voice and she WAS a lovely lady. She got mixed up with drugs and alcohol, that is what did her in. She made her decision and that is the path she chose. People also need to stop blaming Bobby for the life she lived. He didn't force her to do anything she didn't want to do. It's noones fault but her own. Just like MJ.
I am happy that the family of Whitney has chosen to make her funeral a private matter, not like that of Michael Jackson. Whitney's life was open to the public, I'm glad her funeral won't be. Let the family grieve in private.
